About This Item
Baton Rouge, Louisiana State University Press, é1986. Hard Cover. [xv], 176 p.; 24 cm. "Relying on documentary evidence collected from the National Archives and presidential libraries, [Mayer] demonstrates that throughout the early 1950s America's response to the Sino-Soviet alliance conformed to the modus operandi of classical diplomacy: the United States attempted to divide its enemy by drawing China, the weaker party, away from Russia. With the advent of the Korean War, that policy, subtle and sound but ultimately ineffective, had to be dropped. ...Mayers demonstrates that a host of domestic factors-- most notably McCarthyism-- restrained the Truman and Eisenhower administrations from implementing more creative, and potentially more effective, policies." ISBN(10): 0807112879. Very Good in VG dust jacket. Stock#NEU239.
